Description

In BBj 4.0 and higher, a BBjPrinter object allows the user to select a printer and start printing.

Creation

The BBjPrinter object is created through the following BBjAPI object method:

Return Value	Method
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(int client)
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(string name, int client)
BBjPrinter	getBBjPrinter(AttributeSet attributes, int client)
